banded Caruthers's hot shot in mastery style
and threw to bases with marvellous accuracy.

Greenwood being especially fine. Greenwood

Intemperate Players.

After referring gambling having threat
ened the life OF baseball few years ago. the
Philadelphia Press says:
NOW are more materially interested in
the disturbing elements of personal misconduct
of players while off the field and foul and loud
mouthed coaching. It is not to be understood
that drunkenness has just made its appearance
in the baseball ranks, for there has been more
or less of it for years, but the evil is growing.
and while IL increases the attendance at ball
games diminishes. Just as soon as the people
stop patronizing the sport the game will take
premature rest For the large army of ball
players it must be admitted that the number of
the dissolute is very small, but there is
casion for there being any. If q player cannot
keep himself in condition to play bali when his
salary larger for seven months than many
competent and able employees in mercantile
houses receive in twelve. that man is unfit to oc-
cupy any position. A player who will drink and
thus place himself in such condition that he
is liable to fail is not man to be trusted.

The immediate cause of Grace Pearce's resig-
nation, IN connection with his admission in re-
gard to charges of corruption against Detroit
players, is thus explained by the Washington
correspondent Of the Philadelphia Press: "a
short time ago Grace was provided by the local
railroad agent at Indianapolis with round-trip
ticket to Chicago at q reduced rate. agreeing to
return the unused portion, and paying single
fare. He afterwards used the return coupon,
for which he paid. but the agent discovered that
he had managed to evade the conductor on the
trip to Chicago and tore the ticket of himself.
selling the unused portion to gentleman in In
-dianapols who was going to Chicago. This par
ty was put off the train by the conductor. who
identified the ticket. OF course tremendous
row ensued, and the agent at Indianapolis re-
ported the matter to Mr.. Young, detailing the
circumstances and inquiring If il were not posi-
Bile to secure honest men for umpires. Mr..
Young teleeraphed Pearce for his resignation,
and acknowledged tho railroad officials letter By
replying that he had use for anything but
square work and had removed the offender. Nj.
Young has not yet determined who will be ap.
pointed to the vacancy, but it is likely that II
Mapledoram, of the Pennsylvania State League,
can be secured he will be designated.

The New YORK club at the Polo grounds to-day

The Giants found McCormick's curves hard to
solve and did very little batting. Twenty five
hundred spectators were present, and in the
ninth inning the excitement ran high. In that
inning Carroll betrayed q brutal and rowdyish
temper when deliberately ran into George at
the home plate and severely injured him. Kisses
and cries Of ''rowdy" and "loafer", resounded on
all sides. Georges scalp was cut open by the
collision, but he continued to pitch after a de-
ay of several minutes. Weak batting defeated
